Welcome to our Friendship Circle, a supportive space where 3rd -5th grade girls can explore the

essence of friendship and self-acceptance. Through engaging activities, we delve into what

makes a good friend, understanding and managing our emotions, and sharing our unique

friendship experiences. Participants will practice essential skills such as empathy, assertive

communication, and conflict resolution. With guidance and encouragement from the counselor,

girls apply these skills within the group, fostering a nurturing environment for personal growth

and positive peer interactions. Join us to help your child build confidence and cultivate healthy,

supportive relationships.

·      Girls who feel uncomfortable making new friends and want to build confidence

·      Girls experiencing conflicts or peer pressure within their friendship groups

Who May Benefit More from Individual Counseling:

We want to ensure every child receives the best support tailored to their needs. For some,

individual counseling may be a more effective approach.

Friendship Circle is led by Ashleigh Mullican, LPC-Associate, NCC, under the supervision of

Robyn Reyna, LPC-S, RPT-S. We are planning to start the group in the Fall, with the start date to

be determined based on participant interest. If you’re interested in enrolling your child, please

contact us to arrange a free 15-minute phone consultation with Ashleigh. This will help us assess

whether the group is a good fit for your child’s current needs.
